Oh, one more thing, I have heard it mentioned here that Diamond VLB boards
automatically configure themselves for VLB and don't need any type of drivers
to work.  Is this a unique feature of the Diamond boards (since they were on
the VESA committee) or do other types of boards have to have drivers to run
correctly?  If so, then how does this work?  Is the driver set up when the
computer is started so that all graphically based programs can take advantage
of the board's features (like the enhanced VESA modes of certain cards)?

Also, is there any way to turn the acceleration off?  If I am playing a game
with a DOS graphics accelerator and it is too fast, can I turn the accelerator
off to get the game down to "normal" speeds?

Thanx mucho!
